If marketing is making you feel like you’re screaming into the void, you’re not alone. The algorithm is broken, but your creative business doesn’t have to be.

Join us for Social Media is Dead, a webinar designed to liberate you from the content hamster wheel. Inspired by the analogue revival championing ‘guerilla’ creativity, we’re supplementing reels with real connection.

Tune into our webinar and discover some ‘old school’ tactics that actually work, from printed material to strategic partnerships and coffee dates. Stop renting your audience from the tech giants and start building a community that lasts. Let’s get creative like it’s 1999.

Part of our Evening Education Series. The series is delivered as part of our commitment as a Social Enterprise to devote at least 50% of our profit to making programs and education free or heavily subsidised for creatives and arts organisations.

What’s Creative Plus Business?
We’re a national social enterprise dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about business skills. We help through sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice. We believe that a bit of naughtiness, tempered with a kind heart and a big dose of professionalism, is the key to helping creative people understand the boring basics of business.
